      Christmas gift for grandson. He told me exactly what he wanted. All I did was look for best price (and even though I ordered on online, I also wanted a brick & mortar back-up). He was happy. I received watch as promised. Always have good experience with Best Buy. Online or physical location.

      Great balance of features and affordability. Easy to set up and use, and extremely durable. Go to a race and you'll see most of the runners around using Garmin watches--for good reason.

      I use this about 5 days a week for running. It's really nice being able to link it up to the smart phone app to see all of the data. It has good battery life and is very comfortable.

      I bought the Garmin, primarily for running. Didn't realize that it can be a watch as well. Money well spent!

      Always had a Garmin watch for my runs, bike, and hikes. This watch has easily taken over my everyday AND exercise watch. The Bluetooth feature is so nice for uploading workouts.

      Great watch for running. Good size and comfortable fit. Display is easy to read while running. Syncs to phone easily. Face does seem to get "smudgy" easily.

      I haven't purchased a Garmin in years. There were so many upgrades from my previous watch. I think it is a fantastic running watch at a good price.
